SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shockwave Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: SWAV), a pioneer in the development and commercialization of Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) to treat complex calcified cardiovascular disease, today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Recent Highlights

  • Recognized revenue of $19.6 million for the third quarter of 2020, representing a 73% increase over the third quarter of 2019
  • Submitted PMA application for FDA approval of coronary IVL
  • DISRUPT CAD III IDE study results of coronary IVL featured as a late breaking presentation at the TCT Connect conference
  • DISRUPT PAD III peripheral trial results featured as a late breaking clinical trial presentation at VIVA20 conference
  • Expanded the U.S. Field team to over 100 members

“The successes we achieved this quarter on the clinical, financial and operational fronts speak volumes in terms of confirming the value of our proprietary IVL technology for both coronary and peripheral indications and how it uniquely addresses the challenges our customers face when treating severely calcified arteries throughout the body,” said Doug Godshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shockwave Medical. “Our team has done a remarkable job of maintaining their focus on patients and physicians as we collectively work to navigate the challenges that 2020 has put in front of us all.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $19.6 million, an increase of $8.3 million, or 73%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The growth was primarily driven by sales force expansion in the U.S. and increased penetration in both U.S. and international markets.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $14.3 million compared to $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2019. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2020 was 73%, as compared to 61% in the same period of last year. Contributors to gross margin improvement included continued improvement in manufacturing productivity and process efficiencies.

Operating expenses were $27.1 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $20.0 million in the corresponding prior year period, representing a 36% increase, primarily driven by increases in headcount since the year ago period.

Net loss was $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $13.0 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Net loss per share was $0.38 in the third quarter of 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $215.3 million as of September 30, 2020.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and 2020 Financial Guidance
While we have continued to see positive trends in our business, we remain mindful of the potential negative impacts due to the current increase in case volumes globally. Given what we experienced in the second quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to the uncertain scope and duration of the pandemic, the global resurgence of cases, and uncertain timing of a global recovery and economic normalization, we still cannot reliably estimate the future impact of the pandemic. As such, Shockwave is unable to estimate the pandemic’s impact on operations and financial results and is not issuing 2020 financial guidance at this time.
